Common name: Phyllidia Nudibranchs

Phyllidia is a genus of colorful, distinctive nudibranchs commonly found in tropical reefs. Known for their bright colors and intricate patterns, these sea slugs are a favorite among underwater photographers and reef hobbyists. They feed on sponges and exhibit a chemical defense mechanism, secreting toxic substances as a deterrent to predators. While beautiful, they are not recommended for the average reef tank due to their specific dietary needs and potential toxicity.
